Microsoft "Tell Me" the Future of Nokia Phones?

Microsoft envisions a future where you will talk to your phone and it will talk to you. Not in that "call Jane" way that we are all use to, or even in the Talk to Text way. They mean a real natural conversational dialog. They call it "Natural User Interface" or NUI for short...

What is exactly is NUI you ask?  It is you talking to your phone (and it to you) like your phone was another person. It will listen in on your what's going on in your world, learn from it, and interject to try to help you when necessary. (cool and creepy all at the same time)


Here is a "demo" of NUI aka TellMe in action..

and here is Microsoft's disclaimer on the video:

Microsoft Tellme aspires to deliver interactions that are just as natural and easy as human conversation. We see a future where the service will know you: know your intent, your social and business connections, your likes and dislikes, your privacy preferences, and the things that define the context that’s important to you. The result will be a speech Natural User Interface (NUI) service that helps you accomplish everyday tasks in a more natural and conversational manner. Please note this video depicts a vision and does not make any product-specific commitments.
